Private Countryside Full-Day Tour to Cachoeira - Lunch Included
The journey to the historic town of Cachoeira will take you around the coast of All Saints Bay, in the Recôncavo Baiano, and surprise you with a delightful day of insights into Brazilian rural life. This region is rich in history and natural beauty. Cachoeira is located 110 km (68 mi) from Salvador and was, during the colonial period, a thriving commercial city with a busy river port. It was here that we started the battles against the Portuguese for the consolidation of Brazil's independence in Bahia. This tour can be done from Tuesday to Saturday.
